Importance of Tea Artist's Quality in Tea Making

Lead: As a tea artist, you should have a high cultural quality, behave appropriately and have grace. Tea artists should not only be familiar with tea culture knowledge, but also master skilled tea-making skills. Because tea performance is an important daily work of tea artists, there should be standard grade requirements for tea artists in appearance, manners and even temperament.

First, the present situation of Xuzhou tea culture;

Xuzhou is located at the junction of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui provinces. It is known as the thoroughfare of five provinces and belongs to the central and eastern regions. According to incomplete statistics, in 20 13, the total consumption of tea in Xuzhou reached 2 billion, and there were more than 3,000 teahouses and tea shops in the city. Tea people and tea merchants who love, study and taste tea emerge one after another and abound.

In the past, because the living standards of local people were generally low, Xuzhou only had? Laotongchang Tea Shop? In some small tea shops, people's lives are still in a state of food and clothing. Most people like to drink jasmine, jasmine tea, and what is it called? High foam? Jasmine tea foam, there was no tea culture at that time, and people's demand for tea was only to quench their thirst.

Nowadays, with the overall improvement of people's living standards, people pay more and more attention to health preservation, and the taste of drinking tea has also been greatly improved. Already here? Quench thirst? Developed to? Tea? Longjing, Biluochun, Anji White Tea, Wuyi Rock Tea and Tieguanyin have become the mainstream of mass consumption, while black tea and Jin Junmei have become the favorites of high-end ladies. They cultivate their health with tea, cultivate their sexuality with tea, and realize the Tao with tea. Tea culture has gradually emerged quietly in Xuzhou, forming a tea culture atmosphere. But for a big city with a population of nearly 10 million, people's understanding of tea culture is not enough, which requires some professionals to promote tea culture knowledge. Therefore, tea artists play an important role. How can a tea artist better promote tea culture in the process of making tea? This paper will take this as a starting point and make a superficial analysis and discussion.

Second, the discussion of tea culture;

China Tea Culture Series? Talking about art? Pointing out culture, to put it bluntly, is lifestyle, and culture permeates life. Tea culture is simply the way, customs, tastes and feelings of people drinking and tasting tea [1]. Tea culture is an integral part of traditional culture in China, with a history of thousands of years. As the carrier of spreading various cultures, tea is the organic integration of tea and culture, which contains and embodies the material civilization and spiritual civilization in a certain period. Tea culture is a combination of tea art and spirit, and its tea ceremony spirit is expressed through tea art, which has been recorded for thousands of years. Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and encountered seventy-two poisons every day. Where is the tea? . Shennong discovered the tea tree, tasted it, and accurately determined that tea has rich pharmacology. Tea comes from tea, and comes out from the pure medicinal properties. From the first hundred herbs to the thirst quenching of ordinary people for hundreds of years, the medicinal properties of tea are still there, and the medicinal properties have increased to? Psychotherapy? . However, I'm afraid he never thought that after thousands of years, drinking tea has developed into a kind of tea culture behind him, and its spiritual connotation has spread beyond his basic purpose of saving lives when he discovered tea, and has become a mainstream in China traditional culture.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of material civilization and spiritual civilization, people have injected new connotation and vitality into tea culture. In this new era, the connotation and manifestations of tea culture are constantly expanding, extending, innovating and developing, and the content is rich and colorful, involving many disciplines and industries such as science and technology education, culture and art, medical care, historical archaeology, economy and trade, catering and tourism, press and publication, etc. Including tea monographs, tea periodicals, tea and poetry, tea and songs and dances, tea and novels, tea and art, tea and weddings, tea and sacrifices, tea and Zen, tea and couplets, tea and proverbs, tea stories, tea drinking customs, tea performances, ceramic tea sets, teahouses, brewing techniques, tea treatment of tea, tea fairs and tea tourism. In the new period, tea culture has been integrated into the essence of modern science and technology, modern news media and market economy, which makes the value function of tea culture more obvious and further strengthens its role in modern society.

In the new period, the communication mode of tea culture presents the trend of scale, modernization, socialization and internationalization. Its connotation is expanding rapidly and its influence is expanding day by day, attracting worldwide attention. China has a vast territory, a wide variety of tea, and different tea drinking customs. The differences in history, culture, life and economy have formed a tea culture with local characteristics. All ethnic groups love to drink tea. The combination of tea and national cultural life has formed tea ceremony, tea ceremony, tea drinking custom and festive wedding with their own national characteristics. Tea art of all ethnic groups is formed by artistic processing and tempering on the basis of national tea drinking methods, which is more lively and cultural, showing the diversity and colorful life interest of tea drinking. Famous teas, famous mountains, famous waters, celebrities and places of interest have bred distinctive regional tea culture. The social functions of tea culture are mainly manifested in carrying forward traditional virtues, displaying culture and art, cultivating self-cultivation, cultivating sentiment, promoting national unity, demonstrating social progress and developing economy and trade. What is the spirit of tea ceremony? Harmony, respect, purity and silence? Its spiritual connotation is modesty and courtesy, mutual respect and accommodation, quiet and self-control, inaction and solitude.

The ancient traditional tea culture in China is the cradle of tea culture in many countries. It is combined with the history, culture, economy and humanities of various countries and evolved into tea culture in many countries. Tea people don't care about national boundaries, races or beliefs. Tea culture can unite tea people all over the world, learn from each other about tea art, conduct academic exchanges and hold economic and trade talks with each other in various ways.

The market economy in which we live today is characterized by fierce competition, survival of the fittest, and valuing profit over profit. But there is no doubt that due to various reasons, interpersonal relationships tend to be indifferent, but through teahouses, teahouses or watching tea art, friends get together, put down their work, relax their nervous nerves and relax their imprisoned mood. ? Stealing half a day off? It is a rare way of life for friends to gather in antique teahouses, talk at will, exchange information and feelings, enhance understanding, communicate friendship, recall life and regain the pleasure of enjoying a better life. In ancient times? Cold night guests come to tea as wine? In a word, replacing wine with tea embodies traditional virtues. Tea culture is an elegant culture, and celebrities are willing to participate. Tea culture is also a popular culture, in which people participate extensively. Tea culture covers the whole people and affects the whole society and all mankind. According to relevant data, residents in more than 100 countries and regions all over the world like to enjoy tea. In some places, drinking tea has been promoted to an artistic enjoyment.

Third, the professional quality of tea artists;

The article "Mysterious Tea Ceremony" points out that teahouse is the title of modern teahouse, which originated from the teahouse in Taiwan Province Province. In fact, as early as Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a teahouse. What was it called at that time? Mingpu? [2]。 Tea artist is a full-time technician with tea professional knowledge, tea performance, service and management skills in the tea industry. Generally speaking, tea art refers to the art of making tea and drinking tea. The advantage of tea artists over other non-professionals is that their understanding of tea is not only based on sensibility, but also has a profound rational understanding, that is, they have a full understanding of the spirit of tea culture, and the focus of tea culture is tea art.

Ancient gentlemen demanded four arts: piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The four arts are interlinked. As a disseminator of tea culture? Tea artist? In addition to some knowledge of Chinese studies, you also need artistic accomplishment. The article "Dialectics of Tea People, Tea Affairs and Tea Culture" wrote: Everything in the world is OK? Art? Enter? Tao? , can play, can study, can be sublimated into theory, must have considerable skills, must have fine techniques, must have the method of exploration [3]. Tea artists need to have a deep knowledge or love of Chinese studies. In the design of tea seats, proposers often use some poetry nouns in Tang poetry and Song poetry as their topics. Some copywriting can be embodied by modern ancient poetry and ci fu, which shows the unique narrative of ancient tea art, and the tone can be cadenced. Now the proposition and copy of tea art can be written in vernacular Chinese. Copywriting has many forms: modern poetry, prose, and other forms to describe.

In the tea performance, we should arrange flowers, burn incense, hang pictures and make tea. Tea ceremony, flower path, fragrant path and piano art complement each other. When performing, you need to hang pictures to set off the atmosphere, so tea artists need to know what to hang and what pictures are suitable for doing tea activities with this theme. Therefore, tea artists can only achieve certain aesthetic requirements through long-term artistic accumulation.

Fourth, tea artists should do a good job in promoting tea culture in tea making;

1. Tea artists need training to have certain professional qualities and reach the level of professional tea artists. Tea artist is not synonymous with youth and beauty, but a person with temperament, grace and magnanimity. Performers can be young or old, but they can be men or women. In Japan, Taiwan Province Province or Singapore, Malaysia and other countries, tea artists are not only a skill, but also a disseminator of culture, so they are usually performed by their elders. Children are four or five years old, and the elderly are over seventy years old. Tea artists of every age hold a serious and rigorous attitude to interpret them, which brings people understanding and feelings about different styles of tea. "Explore? Xinyang red? The article "Historical Coordinates" points out that in the past two or three decades, the national tea culture circle has done a lot of work, our tea art team has performed abroad for many times in Europe and America, and held many China tea culture activity weeks and seminars in the United States and France, all of which have achieved good results [4].

2. Tea artist is the disseminator of tea culture and a warm and tasteful profession. 1999, officially released by the Ministry of Labor? Tea artist? It was listed as one of 1800 occupations in People's Republic of China (PRC) Vocational Classification Ceremony, and formulated the national professional standards for tea artists. Now all middle and senior tea talents are in the market? Hot goods? Major tea enterprises, teahouses and foreign-related hotels all regard the qualification of tea artists as an important factor for the further development of enterprises. Professional trained tea artists can often gain the trust of consumers and bring direct economic benefits to enterprises. Drinking tea is the material need of life, while tea culture is the enjoyment of spiritual life, with far-reaching connotation and cultural transcendence. Tea culture is a culture that appeals to both refined and popular tastes. Drinking tea is a cultural accomplishment, an art and an aesthetic.

3. At present, all kinds of teaching points of tea artists are mainly based on techniques, ignoring the importance of artistic conception. The beauty of technique is not the true meaning of tea art, and fancy techniques only want to set off the beauty and fluency of tea artists' techniques, and do not represent the art of making tea. Only by integrating flower arrangement, coffee table arrangement, copywriting, hanging pictures, clothing, music and performance methods into the tea ceremony performance, and bringing the audience into the aesthetic concept, is the real tea ceremony performance. "From Japan? National technology? With what? National quintessence? The article "Speaking of" wrote: I hope that the tea performance should also take into account the indoor and outdoor environment with more people and fewer problems, in order to achieve the expected results. Our tea art in China can be combined with other sister art forms, because cultural diversity is the driving force for cultural progress and development [5].

4. Tea artists must know the etiquette of tea performance and reception, have a basic understanding of tea knowledge and tea culture, and know the brewing skills and techniques of various teas. I also have a certain understanding of tea customs and tea ceremony at home and abroad, and I also need to know a few simple foreign languages to receive foreign guests. Learn about the production process of various teas. Know how to choose water, tools and elements for making all kinds of tea. And have a certain understanding of the evaluation factors and comments of various teas. In the tea performance, I can accurately describe the appearance of the brewed tea and describe the cultural details of various teas.

5. Senior tea artists should also learn to design teahouses, focusing on the artistic conception of tea art, and artistic conception creation needs many results. First of all, there must be a theme. After having a theme, make a proposition, make a copy description related to the proposition, and make a corresponding teahouse design with the theme. There are several main factors in the design of the teahouse that should conform to the theme: the bedding in the seat and the placement position. The choice of utensils and flowerpots, the hanging pictures to create an atmosphere, and the selection of incense burners should also conform to the theme. Clothing, music, etc. They are all indispensable factors in artistic conception, followed by personal gfd, elegant and smooth manners, performance methods and skills.

Tea art is a perfect art of life. Only by in-depth research and continuous development and innovation can tea art step off the stage of performance, enter thousands of households and become a healthy, poetic and fashionable lifestyle that contemporary people are willing to accept. Only by constantly learning, improving their own quality and mastering more knowledge of tea culture can tea artists further promote tea culture in tea making.
